User Rights

Your Rights

Subject to legal limits, you may request access to your personal data, ask for correction of inaccurate information, and object to or restrict certain processing where applicable. You may also withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, without affecting prior lawful processing.

Available rights depend on the nature of the data and the applicable law.
Requests

How to Make a Request

To exercise a privacy right, send a clear request using the contact details in this policy and include enough information for us to identify the relevant record. We may need additional details before responding, and we may decline a request where the law permits or requires us to do so.

Requests are handled after we verify identity and confirm the scope of the request.
Data Retention

Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed to manage enquiries, deliver courses, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal or accounting obligations. When data is no longer required, we delete it or anonymise it where practicable.

Retention is based on the purpose for which the data was collected and any legal recordkeeping need.
Policy Updates

Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes, we will update the policy on the website and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The revised version applies from its stated effective date.

We review this policy when our practices or legal obligations change.

Data We Collect

We may collect identification and contact details, course inquiry information, level screening responses, enrolment and timetable details, payment-related records, attendance and progress information, and technical data such as device, browser, and usage logs. Where online lessons or consultations are used, we may also process information needed to arrange and deliver those sessions.

The categories of data collected depend on how a person uses the site and services.

How We Collect Data

We receive personal data from course inquiries, screening forms, booking communications, enrolment steps, lesson participation, payment processing, and messages sent through our contact channels. We also collect limited technical information automatically when the website is accessed or when online services are used.

Some information is provided directly, while other information is created during booking, teaching, and site use.

Cookies We Use

We may use essential cookies to support site operation, security, and form handling, and functional cookies to remember basic preferences. Where used, analytics cookies help us understand site performance and improve navigation. Cookies may be session-based or persistent depending on their purpose.

Cookie use is limited to operational and basic analytical purposes.

Cookie Controls

You may manage cookies through your browser or device settings, including blocking or deleting cookies already stored. Some site functions may not work properly if certain cookies are disabled, especially where they support form submission, session continuity, or security.

Browser settings and device controls can be used to limit non-essential cookies.

How We Use Data

Personal data is processed to respond to enquiries, assess course level, match participants to suitable groups and timetables, confirm terms, manage enrolment, deliver scheduled lessons, provide guided practice and progress reviews, process payments, maintain records, support website security, and comply with legal obligations. We may also use limited data to improve service administration and communication.

We use personal data only where there is a clear operational or legal reason.
Third-party sharing

Service Providers and Partners

We may share personal data with service providers that support website hosting, communications, scheduling, payment processing, data storage, and online lesson delivery. These parties may process data only for the services they provide to us and are expected to handle it under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.

Operational recipients are selected for the functions they perform on our behalf.
